Method
Thinly slice the potatoes and soak them in water.
Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a pan. Add the garlic and rosemary.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add the potatoes and cook until tender, about 10 mins.
Strain the potatoes from the mixture carefully and set them aside. Strain the milk mixture.
Preheat the oven to 200C.
In another pan, melt butter and add the maida to prepare a roux.
Slowly add and whisk the milk/cream mixture.
In a baking dish spread some of the sauce at the bottom. And layer the potatoes and sauce alternatively.
Top with more sauce, grated cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake until golden brown at 200C for 20 mins. Take it out of the oven, cut it evenly, and serve it hot.
